Noises Off, the classic farce by the Tony Award?winning author of Copenhagen, is not one play but two: simultaneously a traditional sex farce, Nothing On, and the backstage ?drama? that develops during Nothing On?s final rehearsal and tour. The two begin to interlock as the characters make their exits from Nothing On only to find themselves making entrances into the even worse nightmare going on backstage. In the end, at the disastrous final performance, the two plots can be kept separate no longer, and coalesce into a single collective nervous breakdown.

It's About Doors and Sardines, Bags and Boxes, and Sheets.

NOISES OFF is the hilarious play within a play about a group of actors performing a touring edition of a British farce entitled NOTHING ON. The reader (and performers and audience members for that matter) are only allowed to see NOTHING ON from the first act. The first time they see it, it is the night of the dress rehearsal. The next time they see the act it is from behind the stage several weeks into the company's tour. The final act of the show is once again a performance of the first act of NOTHING ON, but seen from the front of the stage several weeks later. The hilarity involved ensues from the interactions of the performers and their relationships with each other. NOISES OFF displays that as funny as a play might be from the audience, sometimes it pares in comparison to the hilarity ensuing behind the scenes.

Hilarious

I love the movie, but reading the actual play is even better! It's such a worthwhile read, you can just picture what's really happening. If you're into sex farce and comedy, this is definitely the play for you!

My favorite play

I first saw this play in high school and I really liked it--after seeing it, I HAD to get a copy of the script. :-D Michael Frayn's NOISES OFF is hilarious all the way!

Funniest play of all time!

Noises Off is the funniest play of all time. It is play with in a play where everything that could go wrong does. Lloyd the director has decided to put on the show "Nothing On," a tradtional sex farce, when fiction begins to look like reality. This madcap play takes many twists and turns through cheating couples both on stage and off. A must read for any comedy lover.
